Visa for IT, programming, e-sports, AI, design and related tech professionals to live and work remotely in Kyrgyzstan, initially 60 days then renewable annually for up to 10 years.
The Digital Nomad Visa (Type DN) is a specialized residency program introduced by the Kyrgyz Republic to attract international talent in the high-tech and creative industries. It is specifically tailored for professionals engaged in software development, artificial intelligence, e-sports, design, and other information and communication technology fields. By providing a clear legal framework for remote workers, Kyrgyzstan aims to foster innovation and integrate itself into the global digital economy. The visa allows qualified individuals to live and work remotely from within the country while benefiting from a modern, affordable, and scenic environment.
To obtain the Digital Nomad status, applicants must provide proof of their professional activity in the IT or high-tech sectors and verify their remote work status. The program offers significant advantages, including exemption from compulsory residence registration for the initial period, the automatic issuance of a personal identification number (PIN) for accessing government services, and the ability to open local bank accounts. This visa is a strategic initiative to build a vibrant community of tech professionals, offering them the flexibility to operate as individual entrepreneurs or within legal entities while enjoying the unique cultural and natural offerings of Kyrgyzstan.
